Remember that New York Times blogger who -- observing Golden Globes 2010 red carpet -- suggested that Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Courteney Cox had "put on a little weight"?
Cox's husband David Arquette does -- and he's ticked off about it.
"I don't think that has anything to do with anything," the actor and co-founder of fashion line Propr told FoxNews.com recently of the provocative essay.

The Tuesday after the Jan. 17 Golden Globes, Andy Port, a female writer for the New York Times blog asked what Cox, Aniston and Hudson had in common.
Her own answer: "I could have sworn that some of the ladies who showed up at the Golden Globes on Sunday had put on a little weight."
See what Courteney Cox and all the stars wore to the Golden Globes!
"Who really cares?" Arquette snapped of Port's piece. "I love round people, I love skinny people. I love people in general; we’ve got to get past labels and stop being so critical about everything."
See stars who "packed on pounds" for a role!
In the essay, called "Now Scrutinizing: A Rounder Golden Globes," Port surprisingly adds, "It's almost criminal to name names, because the very actresses whose body-mass indexes have been the subject of endless tabloid speculation are the very ones now sporting sexier curves."

Tell Us What You Think

Are you kidding me? Those women have not put on ANY weight at all, they look wonderful and fit!! That lady must have been insane, how could any normal human being think any of those gals have an inch of fat on their gorgeous bodies, anyone would kill to look like any of those babes! Go David!!
the media cares...and she is knows for her looks...this is how the ball rolls...she is showing that she has talent
I have never seen Courtney look more beautiful than she does in this picture. Who could ask for a better body than that? It didn't sound like A. Port was slamming the girls, she did say they are "sporting sexier curves". But David is right, why mention weight at all? Just say she looks fantastic, and call it good enough.
I'm sorry but enough is enough. I think I speak for many when I say I don't want to see collar bones poking through on a woman and every rib and both hip bones clearly visible. Courteney looks healthier than she did for a long time and she and David need to "Rock On" and be left alone. That goes for Kate Hudson and anyone else who carries more than 95 pounds on their frames. Good grief!! Haven't these tabloid writers and supposed "journalists" gotten it yet that we have a huge problem in this country where our young girls and women are concerned; they are so obsessed with every negative comment about weight that their own lives become wrapped around food issues and let me tell you from personal experience, it lasts a lifetime. LEAVE IT ALONE ALREADY!!!
They all look great and are in no way fat! Those who claim otherwise are blind. I couldn't imagine starving myself for several days just to look a certain way in a dress for one evening, like so many celebrities do before these events. Yay to them for keeping it real!
Jenifer Aniston and Courteney Cox using botox for to look young.Over 40 is going down to the hill, sag, wrinkle, lines etc... They can't be young without chemical injected or facelift. No way. Maybe they get both facelifted and botox already. bet?
Jenifer Aniston and Kate Hudson are fat. But Courteney Cox is ok. She older but look more pretty than Jen and Kate
YES JENIFER ANISTON, COURTENEY COX AND HUDSON ARE FAT. CORRECT!
Why would anyone have to mention in the media that she put on some weight? She looks beautiful! When someone is stick thin and unhealthy it's talk in the media about how awful they look so when we finally have a healthy looking woman...media has to mention that they've gained wieght. It's circus and I can't imagine having to live in the microscope of such judgement.
If you ask me those ladies needed to put on weight so good for them! That's how a woman should look. If putting on a bit of weight did anything it did their body good! YOU GO COURTNEY! ;)
he's such a good husband. i think they're one of the few truly happy couples in Hollywood. and i certainly don't think there's anything wrong with any of the stars mentioned, they're all gorgeous and have great bodies
Well, if that is considered 'putting on weight' then I wish I looked the same. These women look fantastic - albeit a little thin for those of us living in the real world. Keep your ridiculous comments to yourself, Ms Port.
She looks fantastic and really healthy.
good lord, what a stupid thing to write about. i am an avid "friends" fan and frankly, i think courtney looks much better when she's not rail thin. same with jennifer aniston. when women are underweight, their cheek bones start to sink in and their veins show. it's gross and it's not good to look like you're dying. courtney looks amazing and i hope she ignores stupid comments like that. normal weight is healthy... and even being 5 or 10 lbs overweight is healthier than being underweight.
I didn't think either Jennifer or Courteney looked like they had put on any weight. Both looked way younger than their years and gorgeous as always. Assuming they had, what was it 3-5 lbs at most. LOL I am all for thin healthy women and neither have ever been too thin or too heavy- just perfect, i.e. thin but toned and healthy. LOVE David for standing up for his wife, what a fantastic husband he is- Courteney is the ONLY Hollywood star that I have to say I envy her her husband! Handsome, funny, supportive and eternally cute and handsome at the same time. As for Hollywood lives to envy and a Hollywood body to envy, it has always been the perfect bodied Ms. Aniston for me and the life of Courteney. Her friend Aniston has had so much more financial success, she could hate her but their friendship seems the real deal all these years. Love them both and always will! I am not sure the blogged meant it as an insult but I'd guess they did. Both women are so nice despite their beauty, wealth and fame that I can see petty people being jealous of them both.
Good God, if Courtney, Jennifer and Kate are fat, then I'm a whale. And they wonder why young girls suffer from anorexia and bulimia. Or they wonder why stars like Karen Carpenter or/if Britney Murphy had eating disorders.
Oh for God's sake, the woman is STILL A TWIG...compared to all regular women she is still VERY small. Screw that comment. SHe looks a lot better and would probably look even better is she gained a few MORE lbs....
She looked pretty and healthy and it's a nice change. She looks like a woman, women are suppose to have curves. I love when I have curves, it makes me feel like a woman.
